TO ALL WHOM IT` MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, S. C. PRUDEN, of Harmony, in the county of Athens, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Burner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable thos'e skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. v

The present invent-ion relates to a. new and improved burner or tubefor coal-oil and other. similar lamps more particularly, theimprovement consisting in using, in the tube or burner, alum, whereby a more brilliant, perfect, and' even light is enabled to be produced from the. burning ofthe oil within the lamp, a wick or other suitable conducting-medium therefor being employed, if so desired. In the accompanying plate of .drawings my improved burneris illnstrated- Figure l being n side view ofthe same with its lo-wer end taken out.

Figuref?, a viewl of thelower end to the tube.

Figure 3, a central section through a tube in the direction of its length, showing one end covered'with a. cap of cloth, felt, &e.' l

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. g

A, in the drawings, represents a tube suitable to receive a wick. This tube is closed at its lower end by a perforated plate, B, which holds the alum within the tube through which the oil has to pass in its passage up to th'erburning-point or end of the wick-tube, ivhereby'the brilliancy of theame to the burner is greatly increased, and a more perfect and even light produced. In iig. 3 another form of burner is shown.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentr- A burner, made substantially as and for the purpose described.
